Parking near baker street london off peak

Anyone know if its possible to park there after 6pm? Or if it's completely pointless driving there. I'd like to drive there for an appointments after hours. I know parking and traffic is aweful most of the time. But how is it like after office hours>?

Make sure you read any parking signs as Camden and Westminster are very hot on parking tickets.

Which direction are you coming from?

Don't park in the box junctions.

You can park in Residents Bays and single yellows, but out of hours may not be as you think. Often may run until 10.00 pm or the later. Check the CPZ signs and the plates on the streets. There are places to park, north of Marylebone Road will give more opportunity. Depends where you want to go when you park and how far you are prepared to walk/bus/tube/cab.

You can providing you keep driving backwards and forwards.

What time are you going there?

Do you know your way around the traffic along there?

You can park on single yellows in quite a few streets both north and south of Baker Street but not not until after 6.30 not 6.00

alright peeps just drove there to have a look. I'm currently living at zone 3 east london. I thought I could just drive there after congestion zone and visit my old uni to work from the library. being a freelancer it;'s starting to get bothersome working from home.

I drove there earlier in the evening (technically yesterday). Even at 9pm there was a lot of traffic and it took a while to get there. Found a parking space thats free after 6:30pm. But to be honest - driving there is probably bothersome and it will take me ages to find a free parking space there.

If you follow your sat nav to that area it will take you along a route that is blocked with traffic. I'm guessing you went through Shoreditch along City Road and then the joys of the Euston Road which must have taken you about an hour from Poplar.

There are much quicker routes which are longer but avoid the traffic.
